Thor's Hammer (Todos Santos Island)
Thor's Hammer is a heavy slab on Isla Todos Santos that breaks with extreme power over shallow reef. The wave is aptly named—wipeouts here feel like being hit by a mythical weapon. Only the most committed big wave slabbers attempt Thor's Hammer, knowing the consequences of failure are severe.
